Ozarks' 'Extreme Makeover' hits the airwaves

The Hampton family of Ash Grove got its moment in the national spotlight Sunday night.

Parents Chris and Niki and their six children - Dakota, Gage, Hannah, Jacob, Kira and Lexi - were the fortunate recipients of a new home from ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" in July. If you missed the episode centered on the family's new home, click on the link below.

The one-week project was the result of a massive donated effort from numerous local companies. Sam and Michelle Clifton of Millstone Custom Homes led the build team, which used building materials donated by Meek's - the Builder's Choice. PFI Western Store donated the new barn used by the family - Chris Hampton is president of the Missouri Family Rodeo Association.

In addition, the family received several other donations: their mortgage was paid off by collections from numerous donors; Drury University offered full tuition scholarships to all six children; Farmers Insurance donated a year of free home insurance coverage; Purina Mills offered a year's worth of feed for the family's horses, chickens, cats and dogs; rAVe Design Services donated audio and visual equipment, as well as a security system and a year of security monitoring; and M&M Landscaping donated all the landscaping materials and offered a year of maintenance service.

"Knowing that people can put forth this kind of effort without knowing somebody - an example of true love - shows great character," Chris Hampton said upon the completion of the home in July. "We just want to tell everyone thank you so much for everything we've received here."
